The Board denied the appellant's waiver request for a loan guaranty indebtedness, finding that he was at fault in creating the debt and that collection would not be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of fraud or bad faith on the part of the appellant but concluded that his actions were within his control and contributed to the creation of the loan guaranty indebtedness, thus he was at fault. The Board also determined that collection would not defeat the purpose for which benefits are intended.
